Q

What does ANOVA allow us to do?

A

allows us to compare multiple pops and even subgroups of these pops
- how two groups interact with each other quantitatively

Q

What question does ANOVA help us answer

A

do all 3 means come form a common population
- we are not asking if they were exactly equal. we are asking if each mean likely came from the larger overall population

6
Q

What is the problem with using pairwise comparison for 3 pop means

A

the type I error will compound with each t-test
95% confidence = (.95)(.95)(.95) = .857
so, a (or critical value) would be come 1 - .857 =
143

Type 1 error rate went from 5% (0.05) to 14.3%

Q

if the variability between the means (distance from overall mean) in the numerator is relatively Large compared to the variance within the samples the ratio will be

A

much larger than 1

  • the samples mostly likely do NOT come from a common pop
  • reject Ho that means are equal

Q

Problem with Randomized block design? (double check this is what it is referring to)

A

can arise whenever differences due to extraneous factors (ones not considered in the experiment) cause the MSE term to become too LARGE
- this can cause the f-value to be small, signaling no difference among treatment means when in fact a difference exists

A

84
Q

Blocking Definiton

A

The process of using the same or similar experimental units for all treat­ ments. The purpose of blocking is to remove a source of variation from the error term and hence provide a more powerful test for a difference in population or treatment means.

101
Q

What is ANOVA interested in

A

the status of the populations that generate the data sets, and not in the data sets themselves

102
Q

What are some assumptions in ANOVA

A
  1. assume that the data in each data set have come form a single pop
  2. assume that all the pops have the same Q^2
103
Q

How do we interpret the variation in the data sets for ANOVA

A

we interpret the variation in each data set as being caused by small and random sources, collectively called error

104
Q

What is a question regarding ANOVA’s Errors

A

the question, then, is should we regard the variation in the values across the data sets as “error” or should they be attributed to some other source of variation that is not random (ie different pops)

105
Q

What is used as the benchmark in ANOVA

A

variation within the data sets (SSE)

106
Q

what is used to compare the benchmark to in ANOVA

A

variation between the data sets (SSTR) is compared

107
Q

In ANOVA if the between variation is much larger than the within variation, we may conclude what

A

that the data sets have in fact been generated form different populations

108
Q

If we assume that the pops have the same Q^2, we can pool these variations and obtain one measure of the

A

within variation (SSE) - this is the benchmark

109
Q

MSE is an extension of the concept of what

A

pooled variance

110
Q

112
Q

The F test is a direct extension of the

A

t test for testing the equality of the population means of several populations, with the assumption that the populations are normally distributed with a common variance

Within source

114
Q

What does the mean squares column in the ANOVA table give us

A

118
Q

What are the 3 assumptions required to use ANOVA

A
  1. for each population, the response variable is normally distributed
  2. The variance of the response variable (Q^2), is the same for all the populations

120
Q

If the sample sizes are equal, ANOVA is not sensitive to what

to the departure of the assumption of normally distributed populations

un unbiased estimate of Q^2

128
Q
